Pycharm IDE doesn't recognize methods in InteractionResponse

[SeoulSKY]

It shows a warning message and code completion doesn't work. However, the code runs with no problem. How to fix this issue?

[LostLuma]

As far as I know there's no way around this at the moment as Pycharm's type checker can not yet handle quite a few typing features used by discord.py and other modern Python projects.

If you'd like to make use of static type checking you can use the pyright/pylance CLI or switch to VS Code to make use of these in editor (make sure to set Python > Analysis > Type Checking Mode to basic instead of off in your settings after installing the extension).

Some alternative "solution": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76577197/no-context-hint-and-false-unresolved-reference-on-discord-interaction-response

As LostLuma said, there is no way to solve this directly in Pycharm. But you could specifically close these types of checking scenarios if you wish (in the link above).

Another "solution" can be the following IIRC:

response: discord.InteractionResponse = interaction.response  # type: ignore
...
await response.send_message(...)
...

[Beengoo]

or:

await interaction.response.send_message(...)  # type: ignore

the same but shorter

But i think better to use interaction.response.defer() and interaction.followup.send() you can avoid errors like 404 Unknown interaction

Using type: ignore to disable the line is a hacky fix which shouldn't be used on a correctly typed line
